Where it sits among 125mm angle grinders

Scaled against the 59 angle grinders with a 125mm disc we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

The GA055G has a flat, low-profile gear head that gets into corners and tight angles (down to 39° per Makita) where a normal grinder head won't fit. Variable speed, lock-on slide switch, brake, soft start and AFT; the GA056G is the paddle version.
